What Is a Comprehensive Assessment with Testing?
If you (or your child) are struggling at school, work, or home, it can be hard to know why. Maybe you’ve heard terms like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or twice-exceptional (2e), but you’re not sure what applies—or what to do next.
That’s where a comprehensive assessment comes in. Think of it as a deep dive into how your (or your child’s) brain works—what’s going well, where challenges might be, and how to move forward with the right supports.
What can an assessment help with?
I specialize in comprehensive, whole-person assessments that go beyond the basics. My process doesn’t just look at test scores — I also consider physical health, genetics, and how your brain and body work together. Depending on your needs, I can:
-
Order and interpret lab work to explore underlying factors (like thyroid issues, nutritional deficiencies, or metabolic concerns).
-
Offer pharmacogenetic testing to see how your body may respond to certain medications — helping guide smarter, more personalized treatment decisions.
-
Provide expert medication consultations, and when appropriate, ongoing medication management so your care is streamlined and cohesive.
My assessments cover:
-
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)
-
Autism
-
Dyslexia and other learning differences
-
Giftedness and Twice-Exceptionality (2e)
-
Executive functioning challenges (like trouble with focus, organization, or time management)
-
People who simply want to understand themselves better—whether they’ve always felt a little different, or they’re exploring how their brain works for the first time
What Happens During an Assessment?
Every assessment starts with a conversation—I want to hear your story. What’s been hard? What’s going well? What questions do you have?
Next, we’ll use a mix of standardized tests, questionnaires, and interviews to build a full picture of how your brain works. Testing is tailored to your unique concerns, so no two assessments are exactly the same. When we’re done, you’ll get a clear, easy-to-understand report that explains your results and outlines practical next steps. That report can also be used to request school accommodations (like an IEP or 504 Plan) or workplace supports if needed.
Who Are Assessments For?
I work with:
-
Children who are struggling at school, socially, or with behavior
-
Teens who are feeling overwhelmed by academics, planning for college, or managing social life
-
Adults who have always felt “a little different” or who want to understand why certain things feel harder than they should
